Cycloscopy of pseudoexfoliation.

Abstract

We examined patient's eyes with pseudoexfoliation gonioscopically and cycloscopically. In almost all eyes with pseudoexfoliation, accumulation was found in the zonules and ciliary processes in addition to the lens surface and iris border. In the fellow eyes of unilaterally affected eyes, pseudoexfoliative deposits were found in the zonules and ciliary processes in more than one half of the cases, leading us to conclude that pseudoexfoliative deposits in the zonule and ciliary process may be an early and consistent characteristic of pseudoexfoliation and may be an integral part of the clinical picture of pseudoexfoliation.
